刚果（金）布卡武，6月2日电 -- 当地时间5月28日, 中国第25批赴刚果（金）维和医疗分队前往驻地布卡武市国际SOS儿童村，看望那里的小朋友们，还为他们送上了儿童节礼物。
BUKAVU, DR Congo, June 2 -- On May 28, local time, a team of blue helmets from the 25th Chinese peacekeeping medical contingent to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) visited the SOS Children's Village in Bukavu and brought the children there gifts to celebrate the International Children's Day.
分队官兵将他们从中国带去的书包、文具、足球、篮球等文体用品，以及中国结、蜀锦等特色小礼物，赠送给儿童村的小朋友们。
Chinese peacekeepers presented schoolbags, stationery, footballs, basketballs and special gifts such as Chinese knots and brocade handicrafts, which they brought all the way from China, to the children in the Children's Village.
布卡武市SOS儿童村建于1989年，是刚果（金）最早建立的孤儿收养慈善机构，收养了两百多名因战乱、疾病和饥饿失去父母或被遗弃的孤儿。自2005年中国赴刚果（金）维和医疗分队从金杜任务区调整到达布卡武任务区以来，已历经17年，维和分队在布卡武先后换了22批，中国维和医疗分队一直将援助SOS儿童村作为维和任务的一部分。
Built in 1989, the SOS Children's Village in Bukavu is the earliest orphan adoption charity organization established in the DRC. It is home to more than 200 orphans who lost their parents or were abandoned due to war, disease, and starvation. Since its mission area was switched from Kindu to Bukavu in 2005, the Chinese peacekeeping medical contingent has seen 22 troop rotations in Bukavu, and over the past 17 years, the Chinese peacekeepers have always regarded assisting SOS Children's Village as part of their peacekeeping mission.
儿童村工作人员马修说：“中国维和官兵很关心刚果（金）的孩子们。有时孩子们和工作人员会到二级医院去看病，你们也会给我们的医疗中心提供一些药品。”
"Chinese peacekeepers care a lot about the children in the DRC. The children and working staff sometimes will go to the Chinese Level II Hospital for treatment, and the Chinese peacekeepers will also provide some medicines to our medical center," said Matthew, a staff member of the Children's Village.
为让这里的孩子们养成保持健康的好习惯，分队官兵还专门送来了抗菌洗手液、免洗手消毒凝胶、外科口罩等许多医疗防护用品.
In order to help the children develop a good habit of keeping healthy, the Chinese peacekeepers also brought antibacterial hand sanitizer, hand sanitizer gel, surgical masks and other medical protective equipment to the Children's Village.
维和医疗分队队员叶丽娟表示：“我们每年都会到儿童村看望这里的孩子们，让这里的孩子们感受到爱和希望。”
Ye Lijuan, a member of the Chinese peacekeeping medical contingent, said: "We visit the kids in the Children's Village every year in a bid to bring them love and hope."
